dmesg is a kmem groveler.  Either install your new kernel as /netbsd
(which you'll probably want to do eventually if you want to cut over to
it for normal operation) or run "kvm_mkdb /netbsd.mine" manually.
(There is some small chance you'll have to rm /var/db/kvm.db first to
make that DTRT.)

Fix: don't use Netscape.  (Only half a smiley here.)

This sounds as though netscape is an executable of a format not
understood by your new kernel - eg, an a.out executable and the kernel
does only ELF.  Check to make sure you have any COMPAT_ options you
need.

netstat is another kmem groveler; this is basically the same problem as
the dmesg complaint.
